Re: Board members who make music

hi everyone, this is the band that i've been playing guitar with for what feels like forever. female fronted indie-rock kind of stuff. trying to play in los angeles and break into the whole "scene". playing in long beach tonight. check us out if you want to.

Re: Board members who make music

Zircona has just released its second full-length album, Ideal Fears. I wrote the songs and played all the instruments (except the bass). Recommended if you like Warren Zevon, Beck, R.E.M., Springsteen, some people have said I kind of sound like Ben Folds (I guess...). Anyway, you can download it for free at:

i have no problem writing lyrics, but writing vocal melodies comes hard to me for some reason. finding a voice too. how the hell do you know what you're supposed to sing like, if you can sing so many different ways, you know?

same here! every time i try to think of a melody I can't help but just think of all the songs/melodies I know, and I don't wanna copy anyone aha. yeah that's hard as well, guess it all depends on what kind of sound you're going for.

Havent rapped seriously in a few years, but contemplating making a coachella inspired mixtape sampling songs from artists featured on the lineup, and passing out free demos around the campsite just for feedback.

Oh and here's a quick mix I did of a bunch of songs I made (for some reason it was getting passed around pretty heavily for a while so it did ok on soundcloud), and just layered some lyrics over the top to switch it up. These are all some of the first songs I ever made, so it makes me cringe just a little bit haha: https://soundcloud.com/tribal-leader...-tribal-leader

I have this problem too and I think it's reasonably common. I write most of our lyrics but absolutely suck at coming up with a decent melody. I have a feeling that is one of those "have or don't" situations ( that's what I tell myself ). Thankfully our singer is a jet when it comes to making my words fit our music.
